Progressive Die Press Operator (Metal Stamping)

Job Description

Job DescriptionBuild precision parts that power everyday products

Step into a production floor in Chicopee where your hands-on skills keep automated lines and stamping presses running smoothly. At Reliable Temps Inc., you’ll set up equipment, monitor operations, and verify parts against tight tolerances—all while learning from seasoned pros.

A day in the role

On a typical 2nd or 3rd shift, you’ll review job specs, complete a safe start-up, and run either an automated assembly cell or a metal stamping press with progressive dies. You’ll take precision measurements, perform in-process inspections, and package finished components. When something drifts out of spec, your mechanical troubleshooting instincts kick in to adjust, repair, or escalate.
